Language difficulties are common in autism and can affect multiple domains, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. This study examined the language and repetition skills of Turkish\u2010speaking autistic children (diagnosed with ASD), children with developmental language disorder (DLD), and typically developing (TD) peers. Ninety children aged 5\u20139\u2009years participated: 30 autistic children, 30 children with DLD, and 30 TD children. Language abilities were assessed using the Turkish School Age Language Development Test (TOD\u0130L), the LITMUS Turkish Sentence Repetition Test (LITMUS\u2010TR), and the Turkish Nonword Repetition Test (TAST). The TD group scored significantly higher than both clinical groups across all measures. In direct comparisons between the clinical groups, autistic children had lower scores than children with DLD on several morphosyntactic and lexical\u2013semantic measures. After Bonferroni correction, only morpheme completion (TOD\u0130L BT) differed significantly between the groups; associated vocabulary (TOD\u0130L IS) and word description (TOD\u0130L SB) showed smaller differences that did not reach the Bonferroni\u2010adjusted significance threshold. The two clinical groups showed similar performance on picture vocabulary (TOD\u0130L RS), sentence comprehension (TOD\u0130L CA), sentence repetition (TOD\u0130L CT; LITMUS\u2010TR), and nonword repetition (TAST). The findings indicate specific areas of relative difficulty in morphosyntactic and lexical\u2013semantic processing among autistic children in this sample, alongside broadly similar performance to children with DLD on other sentence\u2010level and repetition measures. These results suggest the potential value of tailored, evidence\u2010based interventions that consider autistic children's individual language profiles, while also taking into account broader cognitive and executive functioning needs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/aur.70236","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,25]],"date-time":"2026-03-25T08:50:38Z","timestamp":1774428638000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Language and Repetition Performance in Autism Spectrum Disorder Versus Developmental Language Disorder: Evidence From Turkish\u2010Speaking Children"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0418-4594","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dilber","family":"Ka\u00e7ar K\u00fct\u00fck\u00e7\u00fc","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech and Language Therapy Biruni University  \u0130stanbul T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1513-9219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fenise Selin","family":"Karal\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech and Language Therapy Biruni University  \u0130stanbul T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3868-3137","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nilg\u00fcn","family":"\u00c7\u0131nar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Maltepe University  \u0130stanbul T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpp.12721"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0012162203000963"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","volume-title":"Statistical Power Analysis for the Behavioral Sciences","author":"Cohen J.","year":"1988"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1469\u20107610.00770"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/1092\u20104388(2006\/007)"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10489223.2016.1179741"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/2018_JSLHR\u2010L\u2010RSAUT\u201018\u20100026"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci11050589"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci10040231"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","volume-title":"Test of Language Development\u2013Primary: Fourth Edition (TOLD\u2013P:4)","author":"Hammill D.
